Anyone Online or Off Offering XBOX Freebies That Aren't Football/Top Spin?

Are any retailers (online or otherwise) offering any freebies with the purchase of a new Xbox system other than (or in addition to) NCAA Football 2005 and Top Spin?

Not that I've seen, and I did do a moderate amount of looking in the last month. There are bundles to be found, but at higher prices.

I can't vouch for them, but I did notice boxed, used systems at EB just a day or two ago. They may provide enough of a break to allow the purchase of other games.

I suspect the slightest effort will turn up tons of dual-game DVDs of some Sega driving game and Jet Grind Radio Future (Jet Set? a little fuzzy on the name...) as that double disc used to be the pack-in.

P.S. -- Get Burnout 3!

The point of the dual-disc mention was that they should be cheaper than dirt due to their ubiquity.

If you buy any system, including an X-Box, from Game Crazy, you get twelve free rentals (of movies from Hollywood Video or video games). Not sure if you can buy on-line, but check their site for a store near you.

As an aside, Top Spin is a surpringly entertaining multiplayer xbox game
